CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD(3)    Library Functions Manual    CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD(3)


NAME

       CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD - username and password to use for proxy
       authentication


SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD, char *userpwd);


DESCRIPTION

       Pass a char pointer as parameter, which should be [username]:[password]
       to use for the connection to the HTTP proxy. Both the name and the
       password are URL decoded before used, so to include for example a colon
       in the username you should encode it as %3A. (This is different to how
       CURLOPT_USERPWD(3) is used - beware.)

       Use CURLOPT_PROXYAUTH(3) to specify the authentication method.

       The application does not have to keep the string around after setting
       this option.

       Using this option multiple times makes the last set string override the
       previous ones. Set it to NULL to disable its use again.


DEFAULT

       NULL


PROTOCOLS

       This functionality affects all supported protocols


EXAMPLE

       int main(void)
       {
         CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();

           curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/foo.bin");
           curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PROXY, "http://localhost:8080");
           curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD, "clark%20kent:superman");
           res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
           curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
         }
       }
